This book usually ship within 10-15 business days and we will endeavor to dispatch orders quicker than this where possible. Brand New Book. Excerpt from We ll Stick to the Finish! C est La Guerre (It Is the War) A Voice From the Soldiers and Sailors Overseas My chief aim was to see our own boys, to hear their words, to see them under fire, and to know how it fared with them in the great con ict. What I heard and saw constitutes a message - a message which is like fire shut up in my bones. It is too sacred for personal knowledge alone. Within me is an all-compelling must. Not for authorial pride, but to stimulate col lectiva patriotism in my own country - to hearten the parents, relatives and sweethearts. To induce them, if possible, to keep ying the white letters of cheer, not once a week merely, but once a day; to keep before our brave soldiers at the front the knowledge that the home fires are brightly burning, and to inspire them with the nobleness of their service and the glory of their sacrifice. This is the whole reason for a book, furnishing, as it does, one of the great channels of communication. To me was given the unexpected privilege of talking to the boys singly, in groups and in massmeetings - of talking to them in plain clothes, in plain language, and of giving them a plain message. I wanted them to feel, not that I was an official or on an accredited mission, but rather just a feller from home, sorry for only one thing - that I was not actually one of them. How readily they responded! Rushing about me, almost the whole burden of their question was: Are you going back home? And many were the addresses I brought back - oi parents or relatives to be remembered, even the shy word to the sweetest little girl in the world. My message in this book is in the same plain language I used with the boys. Its sentences will need no interpreter.
